Post-Concussion Management in Winnipeg

Recovering from a concussion requires proper care and management. Arora Family Chiropractic provides specialized post-concussion treatment to help Winnipeg residents recover safely and completely from concussion injuries.

Understanding Concussions

A concussion is a traumatic brain injury caused by a blow to the head or violent shaking. Common in car accidents, sports injuries, and falls, concussions can cause persistent symptoms including headaches, dizziness and balance problems, sensitivity to light and sound, difficulty concentrating, memory problems, fatigue, and neck pain.

Post-concussion syndrome occurs when these symptoms persist for weeks or months after the initial injury.

The Neck-Concussion Connection

Most people don’t realize that concussion symptoms often stem partly from neck injuries that occur simultaneously. When your head is impacted, your neck experiences significant forces that can cause cervical spine misalignments, muscle strain and tension, disrupted blood flow, and nerve irritation.

This is why chiropractic care is valuable for concussion recovery—it addresses the often-overlooked neck component of concussion injuries.

Our Concussion Recovery Approach

We provide comprehensive post-concussion care including gentle cervical spine adjustments to restore proper alignment, vestibular rehabilitation for dizziness and balance, soft tissue therapy for neck muscles, vision and coordination exercises, and gradual return-to-activity protocols.

Treatment is always gentle and progresses at a pace appropriate for your recovery stage. We never rush the process or push you beyond your current capabilities.

Collaborative Care

Concussion recovery often requires a team approach. We work closely with your physicians, physiotherapists, neurologists, sports medicine doctors, and vision specialists to ensure comprehensive care.

We also provide guidance on screen time management, sleep optimization, nutrition for brain healing, and when it’s safe to return to work, school, or sports.

Recovery Timeline

Every concussion is different, and recovery timelines vary. However, most patients experience gradual improvement with proper care. We monitor your progress carefully and adjust treatment as needed.

Many patients find that addressing neck issues significantly reduces their headaches, dizziness, and other persistent symptoms.
